>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>in a land far away,
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>a beautiful, independent,
>>self-assured princess
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>happened upon a frog as she sat
>>contemplating ecological issues
>>on the shores of an unpolluted pond
>>in a verdant meadow near her castle.
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>The frog hopped into the princess' lap
>>and said: " Elegant Lady,
>>I was once a handsome prince,
>>until an evil witch cast a spell upon me.
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>One kiss from you , however,
>>and I will turn back
>>into the dapper, young prince that I am
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>and then, my sweet, we can marry

>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>where you can prepare my meals,
>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>

>>
>>~~~~~~~~
>>
>>and forever feel
>>
>>grateful and happy doing so. "

>>
>>That night,
>>~~~~~~~~
>>as the princess dined sumptuously
>>~~~~~~~~
>>on lightly sauteed frog legs
>>~~~~~~~~
>>seasoned in a white wine
>>~~~~~~~
>>and onion cream sauce,
>>~~~~~~~~
>>she chuckled and thought to herself:
